I'm glad it's not my money going to this obvious fraud.

For one thing, I offered to come look at the engine and he laughed ( LOL ) in an email and told me to come on but wouldn't tell me where to come.

His area code was Wilmington NC and I was willing to drive down and pick it up but he wouldn't respond to anymore emails.

Read the auction, he talks about not having postal service at his college and required that the buyer pay via Western Union. It's all too fishey for me. Also it was his first auction, zero feedback!

EXACT same description, different are, different user. Someone should report this potential scam.

Daniel,

While I agree that the other auction looks legit, look at the wording in the description. The same guy had to write them both or the fraud guy was copying the legit guys writing style.

Did that make any damm sense? I'm tired!

How was the supposed wrecked Lightning able to get 925 additional miles?
